Over 200 UFO Sightings This Year But They Do No Harm, Says New U.S. Government Report

Over 200 UFO Sightings This Year But They Do No Harm, Says New U.S. Government Report
A Pentagon intelligence document delivered to Congress this week details ongoing UFO investigations—over 200 sightings this year.

An intelligence document from the Pentagon was delivered to Congress this week detailing its ongoing UFO investigations, called "unidentified anomalous phenomena" (UAP)—over 200 sightings this year.

It reveals there have been more UFOs sighted, but they're doing no harm, according to the annual 2023 Annual Report on Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena.

It detailed 291 new sightings, mostly during 2022. This brought the total cases being reviewed by the All-Domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) to more than 800, as of 30 April, 2023.

The AARO leads the U.S. Department of Defense's efforts to document and analyze any potential otherworldy sightings.

Reporting from the period reflects a bias towards restricted military airspace, possibly as a result of reports from military personnel and numbers of sensors present in such areas.

This bias has been lessened by reporting from commercial pilots showing a more diverse geographic distribution of UAP sightings across the United States.

No reports have indicated that the mysterious craft interfere with normal air traffic.

"While the mere presence of UAP in the airspace represents a potential hazard to flight safety, none of these reports suggest the UAP maneuvered to an unsafe proximity to civil or military aircraft, positioned themselves in flight paths, or otherwise posed a direct threat to the flight safety of the observing aircraft," says the document.

During the reporting period, AARO say they received no statements indicating UAP sightings have been "associated with any adverse health effects".

However, they add, "many reports from military witnesses do present potential safety of flight concerns, and there are some cases where reported UAP have potentially exhibited one or more concerning performance characteristics such as high-speed travel or unusual maneuverability."

"The safety of our service personnel, our bases and installations, and the protection of U.S. operations security on land, in the skies, seas, and space are paramount," said Pentagon Press Secretary Brig. Gen. Pat Ryder, who thanked the many collaborative departments and agencies involved in the report. "We take reports of incursions into our designated space, land, sea, or airspaces seriously and examine each one."

This year's UAP report covers the period between Aug 31, 2022, and April 30, 2023, as well as another 17 that occurred from 2019-2022, but had not been included in previous annual reports—for a total of 291 reports.
